Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic novel about what happens
when the galaxy’s most deadly weapon masquerades as a senator’s
daughter and a hostage of the galactic court.

A Diabolic is ruthless. A Diabolic is powerful. A Diabolic has a single
task: Kill in order to protect the person you’ve been created for.

Nemesis is a Diabolic, a humanoid teenager created to protect a galactic
senator’s daughter, Sidonia. The two have grown up side by side, but
are in no way sisters. Nemesis is expected to give her life for Sidonia,
and she would do so gladly. She would also take as many lives as
necessary to keep Sidonia safe.

When the power-mad Emperor learns Sidonia’s father is participating in a
rebellion, he summons Sidonia to the Galactic court. She is to serve as
a hostage. Now, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia.
She must become her. Nemesis travels to the court disguised as Sidonia—a
killing machine masquerading in a world of corrupt politicians and
two-faced senators’ children. It’s a nest of vipers with threats on
every side, but Nemesis must keep her true abilities a secret or risk
everything.

As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis
learns there is something more to her than just deadly force. She finds a
humanity truer than what she encounters from most humans. Amidst all
the danger, action, and intrigue, her humanity just might be the thing
that saves her life—and the empire.
